Valeo gear 1992 Mondial T

Does Valeo system have a separate hydraulic compartment beside the Gear box oil which I have already replaced, As I still have issue with gear selection. Before I hand it over to the surgeon .

I would say yes! Possibly a reservoir near the front where the NORMAL clutch master cylinder is. It has to have a pump for hydraulic operation or is it working with the engine oïl pressure? Maybe!

Hank should chime in soon!

 

Thank you for your input, I have removed the front right cover been (RHD), where the brake booster is there's a small black cylinder size of baseball could that be it, if so what type of hydraulic oil required and can it be flushed.
Kind regards
Michael

 

Michael, I looked at the parts catalog and it look like there is no hydraulic actuator but an electric device.

Here is the link to it. Ferrari Mondial t Parts : Table 31 - ELECTRONIC CLUTCH - CONTROLS

 

Maybe you should try to find the procédures to recalibrate the clutch.

 

Hi Michael,

What is your issue with "gear selection"? What took place between your recent drive during which, you were concerned with suspension lights, and at that time, there was no mention of gear related issues? Please describe your current concern.

Cheers,

Hank

 

Hey here is the REAL valeo guy!

Michael you're in business with Hank ;-)

 

Claude,

You flatter me. The truth is, I'm no expert with the technical stuff. But after 10 years with Rachel, I've learned to pay attention to what she's telling me, and I've done a ton of reading about her systems and therefore, when I experience a glitch, I don't panic. Also, I try to not confuse issues.

The thing with the Valeo clutch "system", is that it's pretty much bullet proof. The actuator is built like a tank - - yet, a blown $2.00 fuse can scare the pi-- out of you, causing you to believe that it's broken !! It's not !!!

Calm down, boys & girls - - let's talk symptoms, first.

Cheers, Hank

 

I know you're not an expert, but I believe you are one of the longest VALEO owner that really use it. And I know you are well informed about it. I see you as the defender of the VALEO.

No flattery, just facts ;-)

 

Hi Hank, thanks again for the help , it's hard to select gears, neutralise and kicks , I had check the fuses , actuator all good, so I located mechanic workshop which has the SD1 computer see what he can do.

Michael

 

When was the last time the gearbox oil was changed?

Ok.

Only other (non Valeo related) item I can think of is the linkage. Perhaps something loosened up?

Regards,
Jerry

 

Hope your correct , I haven't checked the linkages , I'll check them out over the weekend see how we go, I'll keep you updated hope it's something simple.
Cheers
Michael

 

We had a client years ago, the symptoms are the same.
First we found nothing, at the end it was an Powertransistor on the ECU from the gearbox.
There are 4 of them , all replaced and everything was fine.

 

Hi Frank
Mate thank you for the info, where are these power transistors located are they in the actual ECU it self or else where may thanks.
Michael
